First, another opportunity to cite the golden rule of HVAC: monitor your air filter consistently! Replace the filter according to the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Uncover your air conditioning unit if you opted to have it covered for the cold weather. Running your air conditioner in advance of removing the cover can severely damage it and cause you costly air conditioner service calls.

Plants, leaves, tall grass and debris placed close to your outside unit can reduce your AC’s operations. cut the grass, clean out any debris and eliminate overgrowth that impedes on your unit before you turn it on this summer. remember to check the surroundings at least monthly to keep it clear and increase airflow through your air conditioner.
